| Lynx And _nl_langinfo I maintain a web site, and would like to preview in as many browsers as possible. I am on OSX 10.2.8. I downloaded Lynx (from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/lynx.html). When I tried to run the result, I initially had a problem because it couldn't find lynx.cfg where it wanted it. I managed to get around that, but here is a complete transcript of the result. Last login: Thu Aug 4 09:36:53 on ttyp1 /Applications/Lynx/lynx.command; exit Welcome to Darwin! [your-vp7x3s9ctm:~] dad2% /Applications/Lynx/lynx.command; exit dyld: /Applications/Lynx/lynx.command Undefined symbols: /Applications/Lynx/lynx.command undefined reference to _nl_langinfo expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib Trace/BPT trap logout [Process completed] Any ideas what I should do to fix this? Just for the record, I tried an earlier release of Lynx which needed to run from the terminal shell, and it failed because it was also missing several definitions from the same library,  |

| With the 'Lynx-2.8.6' disk image on the 'Desktop' (as a result of double clicking on the 'Lynx-2.8.6-10.2-10.4.dmg' file), all you had to do was launch 'Terminal' and enter ... sudo cp /Volumes/Lynx-2.8.6/lynx.cfg /usr/local/lib/lynx.cfg ... and press the <return> key. After entering the (optional) administrator's password and pressing the <return> key, 'lynx.cfg' would have been properly installed. Is this what you did? Anyway, once the above is performed, double-clicking on 'lynx.command' produces a 'Terminal' window from which you can now surf the internet, via text. |

| The sudo isn't precisely what I did, but I did get lynx.cfg to the right place. Unfortunately, the problem is that _nl_langinfo, which is expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib, cannot be found, so I'm stuck at that point. My guess is that I need a new version of that lib file, or some equivalent, in order to proceed, but I don't know where to find it.. |

| I have an external hard drive (with multiple partitions, and thus - multiple MacOS X'es installed) with a 10.2.0 partition. I have viewed its '/usr/lib/' folder. It does contain 'libSystem.dylib' (an alias to 'libSystem.B.dylib') and 'libSystem.B.dylib'. I '.zip'ed the two files into a file titled 'libsystem.zip'. Click here to download 'libsystem.zip' (the file will be deleted any time after 20 August 2005). Last edited by barhar; August 11th, 2005 at 08:20 AM. |

| Thanks I appreciate your efforts in looking at this problem and getting me this file. Alas, it seems to lack _nl_langinfo as well. However, there is good news anyhow. Although the port of Lynx from the Mac site had this problem, downloading a different port with Fink Commander works correctly. So I guess I'll just classify this as a mysterious, and thankfully avoidable, problem. |
